The appearance of the national first-class protected animal, the Chinese merganser, at Cui Lake in Yang City sparked a long period of heated discussion.
Although the residential complex where Feng Yi currently lives is close to Cui Lake, it wasn't greatly affected. The bustle around Cui Lake was concentrated in the "duck-watching zone," which is an activity area newly designated by the conservation authorities and other related departments for the Chinese mergansers. They set up some facilities suitable for their living activities and also protected them from being excessively disturbed by humans. So, the flock of ducks wintering in Yang City spent most of their time in that area, and weren't a nuisance to the residents.
Therefore, aside from taking measures in the first few days to prevent the ducks from sneaking into his yard and stealing his koi fish, the rest of the time was actually quite peaceful for Feng Yi.
